Part 1
This credit is based on energy inputs from offsite sources and electricity produced by onsite renewables. When the institution purchases one fuel and uses it to produce heat and/or power, you should enter only what is purchased. For example, if the institution purchases natural gas to fuel a CHP system and produce steam and electricity, only the purchased natural gas should be reported.
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Grid-purchased electricity | 76,858 MMBtu | 68,483 MMBtu |
| Electricity from on-site renewables | 381 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
| District steam/hot water (sourced from offsite) | 0 MMBtu | 0 MMBtu |
| Energy from all other sources (e.g., natural gas, fuel oil, propane/LPG, district chilled water, coal/coke, biomass) | 171,847 MMBtu | 181,333.60 MMBtu |
| Total | 249,086 MMBtu | 249,816.60 MMBtu |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or 3-year periods):
| Start Date | End Date | |
| Performance Year | Jan. 1, 2017 | Dec. 31, 2017 |
| Baseline Year | Jan. 1, 2003 | Dec. 31, 2003 |
A brief description of when and why the building energy consumption baseline was adopted (e.g. in sustainability plans and policies or in the context of other reporting obligations):
SUNY New Paltz selected 2003 as the baseline year because we have a high level of confidence in the quality of this year's data.
Gross floor area of building space:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Gross floor area of building space | 2,253,337 Gross square feet | 2,093,321 Gross square feet |
Source-site ratio for grid-purchased electricity:
3.34
Total building energy consumption per unit of floor area:
| Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
| Site energy | 0.11 MMBtu per square foot | 0.12 MMBtu per square foot |
| Source energy | 0.19 MMBtu per square foot | 0.20 MMBtu per square foot |
Percentage reduction in total building energy consumption (source energy) per unit of floor area from baseline:
2.83

Optional Fields
---
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency (e.g. outreach and education efforts):
---
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution (e.g. building temperature standards, occupancy and vacancy sensors):
SUNY New Paltz's heating and cooling guidelines are found at this website:
http://www.newpaltz.edu/facilities/guidelines.html#hvac
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
The vast majority of lighting at the newly renovated Bevier Hall and LeFevre Hall are LEDs. Crispell Hall has some LEDs. All exterior lights have been upgraded to LEDs. Interior lights in Humanities, Jacobson Faculty Tower, Coykendall Science Building, and Lecture Center have been upgraded to LEDs.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
---
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution, e.g. combined heat and power (CHP):
---
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment and systems with high efficiency alternatives (e.g. building re-commissioning or retrofit programs):
SUNY New Paltz retrocommissioned Lenape and Esopus Halls, primarly to investigate humidity issues. The campus is in the process of retrocommissioning the Fine Arts Building.
